About Alicia

Alicia Herman is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and other life challenges. She emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered process that starts by identifying each person’s strengths and goals.

Background and approach

With nine years of experience, she adapts evidence-informed methods to match what a client wants to address, whether that is trauma, intimacy or relationship concerns, self-esteem, career transitions, or problems tied to addiction and mood disorders. Her work draws on several therapeutic models so sessions focus on practical skills and meaningful insight.

Alicia blends cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thought and behavior patterns with acceptance and commitment strategies that increase psychological flexibility. She also integrates motivational interviewing to support change, psychodynamic ideas to explore underlying patterns, and solution-focused methods to identify concrete next steps.

Alicia welcomes clients seeking respectful, goal-oriented support and aims to create a steady, collaborative space for building coping skills and clearer direction in life.

Practical approaches for change delivered online



Alicia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility, a helpful strategy for dealing with difficult emotions and life transitions. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs to strengthen a person’s motivation and commitment when facing addictive behaviors or ambivalence about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia takes a collaborative stance, listening to each client’s needs and experimenting with techniques to determine what fits best. She aims to tailor the mix of methods to someone’s goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to schedule appointments around daily life and access care from home. These flexible formats allow clients to continue steady progress even when logistics or travel make in-person meetings difficult, and they support continued collaboration on practical skills and goals.
